Pillars of Eternity 2 has now raised more than Pillars of Eternity 1

UPDATE 27TH FEBRUARY: The Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire crowdfunding campaign ended with a grand total of $4,407,598 - four times higher than the not inconsiderable $1.1m goal.

It means Pillars of Eternity 2 beat not only Pillars 1 in terms of crowdfunding take, but also Torment: Tides of Numenera, which raised $4.1m in 2013 (and is released tomorrow don't forget). Only Shenmue 3 and ($6.3m) and Bloodstained ($5.5m) have had more successful Kickstarter, or Kickstarter-style campaigns. The distinction is important because games such as Shroud of the Avatar ($11m) and Crowfall ($10.5) have both raised more than $10m but have done so over a longer period of time via pledges on their own websites, and by selling in-game houses or, in the case of the most extreme example, Star Citizen ($144m), spaceships.
